Sampson C01 + Xenyx 802 recording sample

For anyone who might be considering this gear combo for home recording/podcasting (or any random audio heads out there), here’s an uncompressed sample recording I just made in my office of the Samson C01 condensor microphone connected to the line in through a Behringer Xenyx 802 mixer.

Your voice is perfect for broadcasting, good quality both in tone and in pronounciation (lack of regional accent), and you are an excellent reader. I’m sure when you read to the girl and boy you also add lots of expression and sound effects. Maybe you should make some books on tape. Start with technical stuff.
